Super Eagles duo are set to get a new manager as Southampton is set to sack Ivan Juric after D disastrous 107 days in charge.

Super Eagles duo Joe Aribo and Paul Onuachu will get a new manager as Southampton are on the brink of sacking manager Ivan Juric after over three months he took the reins, with the club facing the humiliating prospect of recording the lowest points tally in Premier League history.

The Saints were relegated on Sunday after a defeat at Tottenham, capping a dismal season that saw them win only two league matches.

Juric, who replaced Russell Martin in December, failed to turn the tide of results, winning just one league match at Ipswich in February.

The 49-year-old's tenure was marked by a string of losses, including seven defeats in their last eight top-flight matches.

With only 10 points from 31 matches, Southampton require two points from their remaining seven games to avoid setting an unwanted record. Juric's team has picked up just four points in his 14 Premier League games, giving him the lowest points-per-game average of any manager to take charge of at least 10 games in the competition.

Sheffield Wednesday's Danny Rohl and Liam Rosenior are thought to be leading contenders, while first-team coach Simon Rusk could take interim charge until the end of the season.

Adam Lallana, who has made five league starts since returning to the club, may assist Rusk in the short term.
